David Russell Humphreys, Ph.D. Physicist and Creation Scientist joins Creation Science and Bible Teacher Ray Mondragon to talk about scientific evidence that supports a “young earth.” They believe scientific evidence supports the idea that the earth may be as young as 6000 years old compared to the “old earth” position that the earth is over 4.5 billion years old. The sciences of geology, physics, astronomy, and more are part of our discussion with the Biblical description of Genesis Chapter One in mind.
